A pivot door, by definition, is basically a swinging door that rotates on what’s called a spindle or a form of vertical axis. It differs from the usual hinged doors we know of and use in terms of hinge placement. 

A regular hinged door has its hinges attached to the side of the door, while a pivot door has its hinge right at the top part of the door, accounting for its “pivot” movement.

The origins of the pivot door go way back centuries ago, in ancient cities all over the world, from the historical stone pivot doors in India to the Gate of All Nations in what’s now known as modern-day Iran.

The basic components of a pivot door are comprised of the actual door, a top pivot, a ceiling plate, a pivot system, and a floor plate. 

There are basically two pivots, the top and bottom ones. Both of these hinge systems are embedded inside the actual door and are invisible on the main finished door. 

These hinges can be on any location. Its placement will more or less determine the location of its vertical axis and will dictate where the door actually pivots.

• One of the main advantages of a pivot door is how it visually differs from a regular hinged door. The door can swing inwards or outwards, depending on where the hinge is actually placed.
• It’s a different take on doors, and it looks elegant and, at times, even unexpected. It has a unique closing movement that deviates from how regular doors work. 
• A pivot door can be as large as you would like it to be. This gives you the freedom to come up with whatever measurements you happen to fancy. 
• Pivot doors can be flexible with the materials that they’re made of. What this means is that you can fashion a door out of literally any material you could possibly think of, be it wood or glass, stone or metal and so on and so forth. 

• They’re frameless: Because of the fact that the pivot hinge is mortised inside the actual door and isn’t even visible, there is never really a need for a frame in the first place. This makes it really easy to make your door cohesive and blend in well with the rest of the décor of the space that you’re using it in. Cohesiveness is important if you really want your design to work, and pivot doors can help out a lot with that.

• They’re hands-free: If you can’t really make a decision on whether you’d like to add door handles or latching bolts, and so on, you absolutely don’t have to.
